A new initiative that we have introduced this month in Golden Hour. During Golden Hour, our 3 and 4 Year Old Extended Day classes come together every Friday afternoon for a special shared play experience. This innovative time allows children to form connections across age groups while engaging in varied, enriching activities that change weekly. The mixed-age environment provides natural opportunities for mentorship, cooperation, and social growth as children interact with new friends and explore different play scenarios together.

Our 2 Year Old Class students and their families enjoyed a wonderful field trip to Ocean Park as part of their animals unit, bringing their classroom learning to life! The children were thrilled to see many of the animals they had been learning about, from playful monkeys to colorful fish and majestic pandas. This hands-on experience deepened their understanding of the animal world and sparked even more curiosity and excitement. It was a joyful day filled with exploration, as the children bonded with their classmates and shared the experience with their families. The trip was not only educational but also a memorable celebration of learning and fun!

Our 3 Year Old Classes recently had an exciting field trip to the MTR, a memorable experience for many of the children, especially those riding the train for the very first time! The adventure began with the children using their Octopus cards to enter the station, a thrilling moment of independence. As they explored the station, they learned about the various signs and symbols that help guide passengers, sparking curiosity and recognition. The group traveled on the train from Kowloon Tong to Hung Hom and back, enjoying the sights and sounds of the journey. At Hung Hom station, the children discovered other modes of transport connected to the station, including taxis, buses, and minibuses, broadening their understanding of how people travel around the city. It was a day filled with discovery, excitement, and the joy of new experiences!

Our 3 Year Old Class recently enjoyed an exciting visit to the Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po as part of their exploration of transportation systems. The trip offered a hands-on learning experience, allowing the children to see historical train carriages up close, explore the workings of a railway, and learn about the evolution of transportation in Hong Kong. The students were fascinated by the old locomotives and enjoyed interactive moments such as pretending to be train passengers. This engaging outing not only deepened their understanding of how transportation connects people and places but also sparked curiosity and excitement about the world around them.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who attended the Mathematics in the PYP workshop hosted by our 3 Year Old Class Chinese teachers. Your participation and engagement made the session a meaningful opportunity to explore how mathematical concepts are introduced and nurtured in early childhood. We truly value your commitment to supporting your child’s learning journey. Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that our next parent workshop will be hosted by Ms. Olivia and will focus on the importance of messy play. This hands-on session will delve into how sensory-rich, creative play fosters development and learning. Stay tuned for more details - we look forward to seeing you there!

A heartfelt thank you to all Kingston families for your generous participation in the World Vision Red Packet donation drive! Your contributions will make a meaningful impact, helping to support children and families in need around the world. This initiative provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about compassion, empathy, and the importance of giving back to the community. We are so proud of the kindness and generosity shown by our school community and deeply appreciate your support in making this event such a success!

Our Pyjama Party was such a fun and memorable event for everyone! Children and staff arrived at school in their favorite pyjamas, ready for a day filled with excitement. The students brought along their beloved bedtime stories and soft toys, which made the day even more special. Together, we enjoyed sharing stories, playing games, and indulging in a delicious snack of pancakes. It was a fantastic celebration that brought lots of smiles, laughter, and a sense of togetherness throughout the day!

Squeals of delight echoed through the playground as our kindergarten students enjoyed a special treat - a bouncy castle set up in our play area. The children had a wonderful time jumping, bouncing, and practising their gross motor skills while making joyful memories with their classmates.

Our 3 Year Old Class students have been enthusiastically continuing their IBPYP Unit, How We Organise Ourselves, with the central idea: People use transportation systems to move around. This month, they participated in two exciting field trips to learn about transportation, explored concepts such as sinking and floating, and even experimented with gravity, force, and motion. Back at school, the children mapped out journeys around the campus and created their own "bus stops," which they used for imaginative play. They also had the chance to decorate and play with large-scale vehicle models, sparking creativity and teamwork. These hands-on activities have brought the unit to life, fostering a deeper understanding of transportation systems while encouraging curiosity, collaboration, and fun!

Our 4 and 5 Year Old Classes have been delving into their IBPYP Unit, Where We Are in Place and Time, exploring the central idea: Celebrations and traditions can be connected through place and time. A highlight of their learning journey has been the vibrant preparations and celebrations of Chinese Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. The children explored the unique customs, symbols, and stories behind each celebration, engaging in activities such as creating traditional crafts, decorating their classroom, and sharing festive foods. These experiences not only helped them understand the cultural significance of these events but also highlighted the common themes of love, light, and togetherness that connect celebrations across the world. It has been a meaningful and joyful exploration of traditions!

We are delighted to showcase our students' remarkable achievements beyond our classroom walls. At Kingston, we believe in celebrating the diverse talents and interests of our young learners as they explore and excel in various activities.
